13 Celebrity Engagement Rings that Caught Our Attention

Celebrities and their love stories are always a concern for their fans. That’s why when the celebrities drop their single status they know how to do it in style. You can easily catch your favorite star or their better half wearing a glamorous and expensive ring that quite clearly does all the talking. In 2014 we saw several celebrities uniting with their sweethearts and getting engaged. But how they announced it to us is what we really remember. Be it George Clooney gifting his lawyer wife a humungous rock or Ashton Kutcher sealing the love deal with Mila Kunis with an elegant band, all the celebrities surely did win the hearts of their sweethearts (and ours too!). Let’s take a look at some of those who got engaged recently and how the engagement rings sparkled and dazzled.

1. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

The 54-year-old actor pulled up quite a coup when he announced his love to the world. Amal, a barrister by profession, is undoubtedly a stunner in her own way. And we are not complaining about the seven-carat diamond ring that looks exquisite on her fingers. The ring reportedly cost about $750,000.

2. Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler

It was the Valentine’s Day of 2014 when Matt Rutler popped the question to the pop star with a multicolored gemstone ring. From whatever little view the media has had of the ring, it seems to have a very vintage look, though undoubtedly it has been specially designed for Aguilera.

3. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ engagement was a long-excepted one and it finally happened in February 2014, a few months before their first child Wyatt Isabelle was born in October. The engagement ring is a simple, elegant one with a round diamond.

4. Sofia Hellqvist and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden

There love-story, engagement and subsequent marriage was nothing short of a romantic film. It was a surprise engagement for the former model when the Prince proposed her early one morning in June, 2015. Naturally the engagement ring was marvelous too. It is a halo ring which consists of smaller diamonds that surround a main diamond.

5. Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl

It was a perfect proposal for Olivia when German model Johannes Huebl chose the New Year’s Eve to ask the question. It all happened while holidaying at St. Bart’s. The ring that’s seen on Olivia’s finger is a while-gold band with a big yellow diamond and two white diamonds on either side. Within the next six months the couple walked the aisle in New York.

6. Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild

The hotel heiress and socialite Nicky Hilton got engaged to the banker in August 2014 while they were sailing on Italy's Lake Como. The ring is a diamond sparkler with a huge square-shaped diamond.

7. Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid

Snow Patrol rocker McDaid proposed to the Friends star Courteney while they were on a holiday to celebrate the latter’s 50th birthday. They officially got engaged seven months later. The ring looks like it has marquise-cut stones with one large diamond that’s flanked by smaller gems.

8. Shannon De Lima and Marc Anthony

9. Emma Roberts and Evan Peters

They were in a three-year relationship before getting engagement during a holiday in late 2014.

10. Amber Heard and Johnny Depp

The early 2015 marriage made Hunter the new Mrs. Cumberbatch.
